“It feels amazing and everyone has made me feel welcome already,” he told the club’s official website.”Even just pulling on the training top, I was over the moon. Hopefully I can put on the shirt in the near future and make some good history here.”Solanke was named the player of the tournament after scoring four goals to help England U20s to their world title triumph in South Korea last month.
